The New York City-based company has filed an application with the village to subdivide the Gate Cottage, the Mallinson Cottage and the Hill Cottage parcels from the rest of its property. The Gate Cottage lot would be 0.838 acres, the Mallinson Cottage lot would be 0.419 acres, and the Hill Cottage lot would be 0.478 acres, according to the plans.

All three are located on Park Avenue just past AMA’s south gate and are part of the Trudeau Sanatorium Historic District, which is included in the National Register of Historic Places.

The application materials filed with the village don’t say what the company plans to do with the parcels once they’re subdivided. An AMA spokesman didn’t immediately return a call for comment, but AMA officials have said in the past that they wanted to sell off their unused buildings and land for potential development.

AMA provides executive training courses, seminars and materials. Its Saranac Lake campus is the site of the former Trudeau Sanatorium for the treatment of tuberculosis patients, which Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau founded as the Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium in 1885. AMA bought it in 1957, after the sanatorium closed in 1954, but only uses a few of the property’s 29 buildings.

The village Development Board has scheduled a public hearing on the subdivision proposal at 7 p.m. June 6 in the village offices on the second floor of the Harrietstown Town Hall, 39 Main St.

Three cottages

–

The chalet-style Gate Cottage, also known as the Superintendent’s Cottage, was built in 1914 and 1915, and is best known as the home of sanatorium Superintendent Charles Armstrong and his wife Marguerite, who served the facility for decades.

Hill Cottage, seen Thursday, was also known as the Radiographer’s Cottage. (Enterprise photo — Chris Knight)

The Tudor-revival-style Mallinson Cottage is one of the property’s newer houses, built in 1930. Its construction was donated by silk merchant Hiram Mallinson and his wife Linda in memory of their daughter Lorna, a tuberculosis patient who died at age 28.

Hill Cottage, built in 1914, is also known as the Radiographer’s Cottage because it was the home of Homer Sampson, a patient who had no formal medical training and yet became director of the sanatorium’s X-ray laboratory, handling thousands of scans a year.

(Information on these cottages comes from Historic Saranac Lake.)
